## Synopsis

A documentary filmmaker and his cameraman visit a reclusive former screen legend to record her story, and as she begins to talk, the interview dissolves into the films of her career. The two men are swept bodily into her memories, running alongside her through samurai epics, wartime dramas, and space adventures as she chases a man she met once and never forgot. The line between the roles she played and the life she lived disappears completely — and that's exactly the point.
